Question 1

What is church translation software?

Accepted Answer

Church translation software converts a live sermon or service into other languages in real time. With Tongues of Fire, the pastor’s voice is routed from the church soundboard into our AI speech translation engine, and everyone listens to or reads the translation on their own phones — no interpreter booth or radio receivers required.

Question 2

How does live sermon translation work?

Accepted Answer

The pastor speaks into the normal church microphone. Audio is routed from the soundboard to a laptop running our browser broadcasting portal, which streams it to our AI for translation. Listeners scan a QR code or enter a session code in the free listener app and hear the sermon in their chosen language with under 2 seconds of delay.

Question 3

What languages does Tongues of Fire support?

Accepted Answer

Tongues of Fire translates live speech into Spanish, Portuguese, French, Mandarin, Korean, Tagalog, Arabic, and more than 40 other languages. Each listener picks their own language independently, so one sermon can be heard in many languages at the same time.

Question 4

How much does Tongues of Fire cost?

Accepted Answer

One simple flat rate, the same for every church — no per-listener fees, no language add-ons, and no surprise tiers. A small church plant pays exactly what a large multi-campus church pays, and the listener app is always free for everyone in the room.

Question 5

Do listeners need special hardware to hear the translation?

Accepted Answer

No. Listeners use their own smartphones and headphones. They scan a branded QR code or type a short session code into the listener app, choose a language, and listen immediately — there is nothing for the church to hand out, charge, or sanitize.

Question 6

How accurate is AI speech translation for sermons?

Accepted Answer

Accuracy depends heavily on audio quality. Because Tongues of Fire takes a clean feed directly from your soundboard rather than an open room microphone, the AI receives clear speech and produces noticeably better translations. Our setup guides show how to balance levels for the best results.

Question 7

How is this different from hiring a human church interpreter?

Accepted Answer

A human interpreter serves one language at a time and must be scheduled for every service. AI church translation runs every week, translates into dozens of languages simultaneously, and costs a fraction of professional interpretation — while visiting families simply listen on their own phones.
